Grantify ranks 46th on The Sunday Times 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies list

This prestigious annual ranking celebrates the most dynamic and ambitious businesses in the UK, and we're honoured to be recognised among them.

While many of the companies ahead of us in the ranking have raised significant investment, we're proud to have achieved this milestone as a bootstrapped venture.

Grants can be a lifeline for ambitious small businesses, helping them to develop their product or service, expand or simply fund day-to-day operations. But securing funding can be challenging and frustrating. So Mat Westergreen-Thorne, 37, and his brother Luke, 32, came up with the idea for Grantify to break down the complex application processes into small, easy steps.

Britain's Fastest-growing Private Companies

Our journey from a fledgling startup to this milestone moment has been nothing short of extraordinary. Just a few years ago, Mat and Luke were grappling with the complexities of grant applications for their own venture. Today, Grantify has grown from a grant platform led by two passionate entrepreneurs into a complete fundraising ecosystem guided by a dedicated global team of ~200.

As we continue to expand rapidly, we're always on the lookout for exceptional talent to help shape the future of innovative funding.

Our revolutionary AI platform is a game-changer for founders and entrepreneurs, meticulously crafted to save them hundreds of hours annually while maximising their funding success. The cutting-edge suite of AI tools harnesses real-time industry data, uncovering hidden trends that become the key to writing the perfect application and securing essential funding.

This recognition is a testament to the innovative spirit of the startups we serve. Over the past 3.5 years, we've had the privilege of helping hundreds of visionaries secure more than £125 million in non-equity, non-repayable funding. Our approach has proven remarkably effective, with Grantify-supported applications achieving up to a 60% success rate in highly competitive rounds where only 5% of applications are funded. In fact, we've seen instances where Grantify startups secured up to 72% of all funding available in a single round.

We're particularly proud to see some of our clients joining us on The Sunday Times 100 list, showcasing the transformative power of grant funding. Moasure, the innovators behind the world's first motion-based measuring tool, secured the 40th spot in this year's ranking. And Muuto, a management consultancy designing significant changes for multinational companies, achieved 96th place in the 2023 edition.

To all Grantify startups, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your trust, support, and shared success have been the driving force behind our growth. 

As we celebrate this milestone, we're setting our sights even higher.

Our goal is to raise $1 billion for our startups by 2028. 

We believe in the power of grant funding to fuel innovation, and we're committed to making it more accessible than ever before, while continuing to expand our ecosystem of support for groundbreaking ideas.

While we're proud of how far we've come, we're even more excited about the future. To all the entrepreneurs out there with game-changing ideas, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can turn your innovative visions into reality, providing support for funding, sustainable growth and lasting impact.

Our commitment to your long-term success is embodied in our cutting-edge Grant Finder AI. This powerful tool uses your company information to continuously scan and match your business with new opportunities from over 6,000 grants available yearly across the UK and US. With Grantify as your dedicated partner, you'll have ongoing access to a steady stream of non-dilutive funding opportunities, allowing you to focus on what matters most – growing your business and bringing your innovations to life.

Our goal is to ensure that as your business evolves, you'll always have the support needed to fuel your growth and realise your ambitions.

Thank you to The Sunday Times for this recognition, to our incredible team for their tireless efforts, and most importantly, to the startups who continue to inspire us every day with their trailblazing work.

Here's to the next chapter of innovation and growth…
